And the Winner Is... Pt. 2
Blythe Danner for HuffDanner is really one of our unsung acting treasures. She has the fortune/misfortune to have a ridiculously beautiful and talented daughter and for a long stretch of the late 90s, it looked like she would be overshadowed by her daughter, Gwyneth, but then she hit a stretch of roles that allowed her to come into her own and standout as an actress, even though anyone familiar with her career wasn't surprised by what many people seemed to be discovering. Huff is a monumental role for her that allows her to hit every note possible. That's why she won this award last year. Her storylines in her submitted episodes also sound quite possibly the juiciest and most interesting--on par with a premium cable drama.
The other thing working for Danner here is that she's the only actress in this category that's on a show on Showtime or HBO. A cable network bias has developed within some branches of the Academy, with its members arguing that cable is automatically edgier, and therefore worth voting for. If there are enough people in this category rooting for Danner, she could easily repeat holding her trophy on Emmy night.
